Any Ideas For A Small Graduation Cap For A Cake Topper?

I haven't posted here a lot but have gotten so much good advcice from reading everyone elses posts..thanks...

I am making 2 graduation cakes for Saturday, both are going to have a small graduation cap and diploma on top for decoration, I made the diploma's already out of fondant, but could use some idea for the caps...anyone??

I have a graduation cake in my pic with a small cap on it. I used a small custard cup and used that to form the cap part then just cut out the square for the top. For the tassle I formed some gumpaste then used a toothpick to put lines in it.

I made a small cap out of gumpast for a recent grad cake. I just made a loop out of gumpaste, and a square to correspond to the right size, and let them dry separately. After they were dry, I attatched them with royal icing. Good luck! This cake is in my pics if you need to see it.
